Your thoughtful contribution has made a significant difference in our learning environment, and I cannot thank you enough for your support.\r\n\r\nThe new books have brought an exciting energy to our classroom! For many of our students, these books have opened up new worlds and perspectives. We've seen an increase in reading enthusiasm and curiosity—students are eager to explore the stories you've helped us add to our collection. The books you donated have not only provided more diverse reading material, but they also align perfectly with the skills and lessons we're working on this year. From improving vocabulary and comprehension to enhancing critical thinking and storytelling, these books are fostering a deeper understanding of the text.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading has become an immersive and interactive experience. We often gather for group reading sessions, where students share their thoughts and predictions, discuss new vocabulary, and make connections between the text and their own lives. The new books have sparked engaging conversations, helping students practice these skills while also encouraging them to develop a love for reading that will last a lifetime.\r\n\r\nOne of the most heartwarming changes has been seeing students light up when they pick up a book from the new selection. Thank you once again for your incredible generosity. Your donation is truly making a difference in the lives of my students, and we're so fortunate to have your support. We look forward to continuing to build on these new experiences and lessons as we dive deeper into these books together.\r\n\r\nWith sincere thanks,","fullyFundedDate":1728312580922,"projectUrl":"project/readers-are-leaders-build-a-classroom-l/8551663/","projectTitle":"Readers Are Leaders: Build a Classroom Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Edington","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9601570"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_67142","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":602,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":34,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":66.7,"schoolId":67142,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rudyard Area School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rudyard Area School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/rudyard-area-schools/rudyard-senior-high-school/67142"}
